That's why I've been holding it off as long as I can. Bothered me even just using the snowblower.
-
How long was recovery?
-
Don't jinx me buddy. Actually, they average more than where I am, and they usually cash in on coastals and the occasional Norlund. My sister sends me pictures all the time and they have better retention too.

New England Winter 2024-25 Bantering, Whining, and Sobbing Thread

If it hits you might not be around to collect your winnings. -
Connecticut electric rates are ridiculous.
-
Southern area along the coast but my sister has been there 20 years and the winter there is much better than here plus you get that cold wind off the ocean that gets right to your bones. Right now she has a pack 3 times bigger than mine.
-
Agree, I want the pellet stove too when we have a cold spell. It' a little colder in Maine than it is here.
-
We use ours to get a little heat in the fall when some nights get cold but its oil now. I have a wood stove too but haven't used it since I need a shoulder replacement and couldn't get a good wood supply this year. Our new house will have mini splits with baseboard propane and I'll have a pellet stove in the basement.
-
I have a hybrid heat pump and use it like you say, otherwise the oil kicks in, cost me an extra $300 dollars so far this year compared to last year.

I saw those trails, but they didn't take us on those. I saw people whizzing by into those trails while we puttered along in the slow lane.
-
Prices on everything is crazy-crazy, I wanted to get another Toyota Tacoma and have a hard time pulling the trigger on current prices.
-
We were in NH, the speed limit was 20 so they set them at the level. Would have liked to go faster in some wide open areas but couldn't.
-
The times we have rented they've been Polaris', fun to ride but they only went up to 20mph and other people would zoom by doing double that. I think the ones we had would go faster if they didn't regulate them but fun, nonetheless.
-
Thats my plan too as I move to Maine later this year, get into sledding, my wife loves it too so it's something we can do together. Plus, I love going up north where the snow is deep.
-
What does one expect to pay for a decent sled?
-
We usually go the New Hampshire and rent sleds for a day, the new sleds are nice with handwarmers, and they ride nice. On the rentals they mess with them so we could only go so fast, but still fun.
-
You using mini-splits exclusively?
-
Is it in a valley surrounded by higher terrain?
-
Didn't far northern NE have an epic snowpack about 4-5 years ago? I remember seeing pics of massive snow piles and houses half buried, just don't remember the year.
-
The sun melted some ice on my driveway today with a high of 28, it's over once the sun goes down. Not crazy about all this ice, I'm gonna take a good fall if it doesn't melt soon.
-
Most I remember is December, is that the most likely month?
-
I did the same, was sweating with my coat on the heat turned off so took it off. We passed Tips sun heat day last week, could start tomatoes in my car in the sun.
-
I remember being in the hospital in April 1976 and the Sox opening game got cancelled due to snow, don't remember how much, I was in a drug induced fog.
-
We all have our own rating system, I give this year a C, a biggie can raise the grade, won't be an A no matter what happens.

Couple degrees made the difference from where you are and where you used to live, it's just concrete down here.
